Welcome to the AHOY Centre

We are a charity that changes people’s lives and builds life skills through sailing, rowing, powerboating and other activities on and off the water. We offer opportunities for disadvantaged, at-risk and disabled young people to engage in activities and courses on an equal level with other young people from a wide range of backgrounds. We regularly witness how participants’ behaviour and attitudes to education change when they are given the opportunity to develop their skills, team work and confidence on our programmes. AHOY opens doors that lead to fulfilling careers and provides skills to help participants make positive choices in their future lives.

Open day 2025!!!

We’re excited to invite you, your friends, and family to our Open Day on Saturday, 28th June 2025, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM at The Ahoy Centre in Deptford.

    • Taster sessions on the water
    • Rowing machine time trials
    • Kids’ activities and games
    • And possibly even a visit from our friends at the Wapping Marine Policing Unit and Lambeth River Fire Station!
